# Event Details - **Event Name**: Balancing Emotion and Logic in Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 04 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Event Description**: Most of us have experienced a misalignment of emotion and logic when it comes to our search for truth. Maybe it’s that friend who’s highly educated but easily pulled into conspiracy theories. Maybe it’s our own feelings of getting swept up in panic we know isn’t rooted in fact. Or maybe it’s the collective despair of witnessing mis- and disinformation sweep an entire nation. However it manifests, we know that this misalignment often keeps us stuck, separating us from truth. If we seek true social change, the kind that moves people and communities out of being stuck and into alignment, we must understand the relationship between logic and emotion. Michelle Trupiano, Executive Director at Beacon Reproductive Health Network, explores the role of emotion and logic in reproductive healthcare and how effectively balancing the two is the key to building relationships, advancing policies, and inspiring a movement committed to ensuring and expanding sexual and reproductive healthcare for all. Michelle Trupiano (she/her) is a fearless advocate for reproductive freedom and healthcare as a human right. For more than 20 years, she’s fought to expand access, shift power, and dismantle barriers to care – especially for historically marginalized communities. As Executive Director of Beacon Reproductive Health Network (formerly Missouri Family Health Council, Inc.), Michelle leads with heart and a deep commitment to justice. A social worker by training, she brings decades of experience in organizing, advocacy, and coalition-building. Michelle also serves on the boards of NFPRHA, FPCA, and Missouri Jobs with Justice. Outside of work, she loves hiking and camping with her family. This Platform will feature music from Michael Engelhardt, a songwriter, composer, producer, and vocal director on a mission to make a positive impact on people’s lives. His work has been featured on ABC, NBC, PBS, and NPR broadcasts, the Carnegie Hall stage, and national conferences. Mike’s choral works are published internationally, and he has collaborated with artists like O.A.R., Ben Folds, Take 6, Kansas, Patti Austin, and Michael McDonald. He also teaches songwriting and directs the Jazz Singers at Webster University. Mike, his wife Meg, and their two kids are excited to be part of our community.
